THE GREAT WESTERN. On board the Great Western, Friday, 7th December. 1838. Sir,—Having been appointed Chairman at a meeting of the passengers, held yesterday on board the Great Western, on her present voyage from New York to Bristol, to take Into consideration your attentions and exertions as Com mander, the pre,•vision made for us, and the great advan tages now aetruing from the noble enterprise of the owners of this vessel, in having established a communication by steam between two great nations, I have the honour now to band to you a copy 'of these resolutions for your information, and that of all concerned. Wishing you every success, and that you may long con tinue the worthy Commander of this distinguished vessel, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, J. REID, Chairman. To Lieut. Hosken, R.N., Commander of the Great Western. At a General Meeting of the Passengers, held on board the steam-ship Great Western, on the 6th day of Decem ber, 1838, Resolved unanimously—That we consider it dun to Lieut. Hosken, R.N., Commander of the Grca.! Western, and to the Officers under his command, to express to them the strong sense we entertain of the unremitting care and attention evinced by them in the safe navigation of this ship on the present voyage from New York to Bristol ; and, al though we have exurienced a succession of heavygales of wind, accompanied with boisterous and cross seas, such has been the unbounded confidence in the ship, and the unceasing vigi lance and skill of the Commander, that not the slightest ap prehension or alarm was entertained even by the most timid for their safety. Resolved—That unvaried civility and attention has been paid to us, and that the table has been most liberally and profusely supplied during the passage. Resolved,—That the valuable qualities of the Great Western have been too well ascertained to require from us any additional recommendation, but we cannot refrain from availing ourselves of the opportunity afforded, by the com pletion of a difficult and winter passage, of expressing our opinion that the efficacy and advantages of steam naviga tion across the Atlantic have again been fairly tested, and its success fully established. The tribute of our admiration and thanks is therefore due, as well nationally as individually, to the spirited pro jectors of this vast enterprize, who, not discouraged by the doubts and apprehensions entertained by many of the best informed, and the acknowledged difficulties of the under taking, have, by a judicious union of science and capital, achieved a communication between two great nations, the incalculable advantages of which it is beyond human fore sight to predict. The above is a true and correct copy of the resolutions agreed to at the meeting aforesaid. (Signed) J. REID, Chairman. 7th Dec., 1838. RUTSON MAURY, Secretary.

On Saturday Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, Captain and Brevet Major Vaughan, Second Captain Hornsby, and company, marched down from the Royal Artillery Barracks, preceded by their excellent band, playing martial airs, to the Royal Arsenal, and embarked on board the Royal So vereign transport, bound for Barbadoes, where Colonel Grant will relieve Lieutenant-Colonel Story, commanding the Royal Artillery in that island. This company has been expected to be countermanded and sent to Canada, and it yet remains doubtful whether those orders will not be telegraphed to them before they leave the British coast. Captain Evans, Second Captain Ashburne, and company, embarked also at the same time for Island Bridge, Dublin, and the Sovereign transport will there take on board other drafts for corps in the West Indies. The infantry of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich were assembled into a single battalion on their regimental parade, and the band having played the national anthem while the troops gave a general salute and formed column, headed by the Commandant of the Garrison (pro tem.), Major-General Peter Fyers, C. 8., attended by Brigade-Major Cuppage, Major Romer, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General, and a numerous and brilliant staff of officers. They then marched out into the adjacent country in accord ance with the orders recently promulgated by the Master- Gevaeral, in order to inure them to the necessary exer cise which they may shortly expect to experience on fo reign service. The men were in heavy marching order, and appeared much fatigued on their return, owing to the state of the roads. Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.8., G.C.H. , is dail-y expected from his seat in Ireland, after three months' leav of absence, to take the command of the garrison. Rifle Brigade, second battalion, received orders on Fri flay to complete the deficiencies in their companies up to .one hundred rank and file ; and accordingly eight recruiting parties have been dispersed over the manufacturing towns, in addition to those already on that service. CONSEQUENCES OF INTOXICATION. —On Thurs day an inquest was held in Essex-street, Whitechapel, on the body of Bartholomew Carey. It appeared by the evi dence adduced, that the deceased, who had for years ob tained a miserable existence by cadging and selling matches, got drunk on the previous evening, and was carried home by two men to the miserable hovel where he used to sleep. About two o'clock the following morning he was seized with a fit, and in a few minutes was a corpse. A verdict of " Natural Death" was returned, but the majority of the jury were of opinion that his decease was accelerated by his fre quent use of ardent spirits. A short time ago a bitch, belonging to Mr. Thomas Bootliis, innkeeper, Guisbrough, whilst rang ing about in the wood's near that town, caught a young r abbit, which she carefully carried to her master in her mouth unhurt. The bitch had recently had pups, which were removed from her, when she immediately commenced sucklinf; the rabbit, and, strange to say, they are now (though of quite opposite na tures) living together in peace and harmony. LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1838 In The Sun of this day will be found two highly interesting communication, addressed respectively to Lords MELBOURNE end JOHN RUSSELL, by Cap tain ST. CLAIR and Admiral NAPIER, relative to the necessity of an immediate Reform in the British Navy. No branch of the public service has been more neglected than this, though none has contributed so highly to the glory of England ; and it is therefore with pleasure we find veterans who have braved the dangers of the " battle and the breeze" for the best part of a life spent in the service of their country, take the lead in the suggestion of plans of improvement which, to be truly valuable, must originate with men familiar with all the practical details of the Naval Service. The right arm of England is, and must be, from her geo graphical position, her fleet. With a good Naval force, we may safely defy the worst that such enemies as our prosperity abroad, and our free institutions at home, may raise against us. In the language of SHAKSPEARE in King John— " England never did (nor never shall) Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Come the three corners of the world in arms And we shall shock them !" To recover the ground which we have lost, we must bestow our first attention upon the Reform of our Naval service. We must repair the injuries which our veteran Tars have sustained, for no other reason than that they were more familiar with grappling with an enemy than with treading the mazes of a Palace. It is high time to take such measures as shall render the Naval service rather an object of ambition than of terror to young men with clear heads and stout hearts, but without the shadow of a friend within the charmed circle of the aristocracy to whisper their merits in the ear of a First Lord of the Admiralty. In the Navy, es pecially, merit should be the only sure passport to promotion ; and once establish this principle, and it will be unnecessary to legislate in order to put an end for ever to the detestable practices of impress. ment. Having opened our columns to the publi• cation of all interesting details upon this great national question, we beg to state that no party considerations shall influence us in the insertion of any documents which may be ad dressed to us with a view to place the present position of our Navy in a clearer light. The state of our Navy has nothing to do with Whig, Tory, or Radical struggles for political pre eminence. This is essentially a British, and not a party question ; and as to the abuses which may be proved to exist in the administration of this most important branch of the public service, they may be laid at the door of every British Cabinet for the last hundred and fifty years—even when our Naval power was at the highest. All that British valour has done, it would do again under any system ; but with an improved Naval adminis tration, it could be made to accomplish ten times as much, without half the expense in the way of human suffering, from compulsory service and blighted prospects. Henceforth we shall pay much more attention to this subject, without suffering it to get entangled in the meshes of faction. The Spectator of yesterday, in a long article on the Corn-laws, has the following passage:— The time for action has arrived—when good wheat costs 80s. to 85s. a quarter, and there is no probability of a reduc tion in price. But we do not see anything like a general movement in the country for the repeal of the Corn -laws. In Birmingham, indeed, it hasheen resolved to postpone agitation on that subject till Universal Suffrage shall have been achieved! Some wise men whom the Birmingham Radicals follow, have adopted the principle, that such " small matters" as the Corn laws can well wait for adjustm , nt till they have carried Univer sal Suffrage. flad they not better leave principle out of the question, as well as common sense ? Whatever may be thought of it in Birmingham just now, where, we understand, there is a temporary flush of prosperity, the more rational persuasion in other parts of the country is, that though Universal Suffrage is likely at some time or other to be carried, that time will not be soon ; whereas the abolition of the Corn-laws is a prac tical question, which might perhaps be carried even next ses sion. To postpone the accomplishment of a great good until some other more comprehensive benefit can be obtained, is the reverse of practical wisdom. The chance—a hopeless chance —of fJrcing the Charter from the middle classes so early, say, as seven years hence, is a poor apology and recompense for semi. starvation now, and the progressive decline of trade with foreign countries. There is a probability that, with earnest efforts, the corn monopoly may be overthrown, even in the approaching Session. We rubbed our eyes when we read this, because we remembered the conduct of our Contemporary three short months ago. If we now advert to that, and to our own conduct in relation to the subject, it is not for the sake of self-laudation, but to give a little in struction to those w ho teach others, sometimes in no gentle terms, and to justify ourselves to those who branded The Sun as forsaking the cause of the people, who burnt it, and sent us its ashes, because we advised them three months ago not to submit to " semi-star vation," "for the hopeless chance of forcing the Charter from the middl e classes seven years hence." Having placed this paragraph of our Contemporary before our readers, we must remind them, that on the 10th of September we h a d to d efend ourselves against the Spectator's calumnious assertion, that the Ministerial Press was attempting to divert the attention of the working classes from political chancres to the over throw of the Corn-laws." " The fact is," said our Whigs throw the te h Anti-Corn-law . C" Contemporary , " tlatiotnlgie irliteesppeeraotpeleas a tub to o r n \ - 1 1 , T a e wery repelledatn the charge fo r ourselves ; but if the Spectator ever had the candour to retract it, and ever told its readers tha t the de mand for the repeal of the Corn-laws was not a cry got up to serve the purposes of the Whigs, its candour has escaped our notice. Acting in conjunction with the Spectator at that time, the Chartists published placards which we censured, calling nr. :lie people not to attend to the " Corn-law agitation, which was only a trick of the Whigs." Our Contemporary, by then discountenanc ing, checked the Corn-law agitation and strengthened the Chartists in their determination to discounte nance it as a " trick of the Whigs." He then did what he now sneers at as contrary to " principle" and common sense, and, let us add what he then knew to be wrong. To promulgate a charge that the cry for the Repeal of the Corn-laws was got up to serve the Whigs, and never to retract it ; to cry down an agitation which the Spectator now acknowledges to be proper, for the mere purpose of damaging the Whigs, was, our Contemporary must give us leave to say, the very rabidness of faction. We are glad, in our own justification, to have the Spectator's present certificate to the propriety of pre ferring. as we have done, the agitation of the Corn laws to the pursuits of the Chartists. At least it ought to convince them that we were actuated by no improper motives in the advice which we gave; and that that which is prudent now was discreet in September. In fact, if the Spectator, and those Journals which follow its lead, had not opposed the Corn-law agita tion in September, and if the Chartists had followed our advice, there would have been every probability that this next session would have seen an end to the Devil's laws, and the commencement of the most memorable improvement in legislation that ever was made in England. At present our fears preponderate over our hopes. As the Spectator says, " the great merchants and manufacturers have stood aloof," be cause they know that the effect of the abolition of the Corn-laws would be to lower the price of all their property. Every day those laws arc submitted to, the stronger become the interests bound up with them, and when th.e property classes fancy there is danger they would rather, we are afraid, see the people exposed to a Hindostan famine than risk the fall in value of their beloved wealth. Go on with the Corn-laws the nation cannot ; and how to abolish them with the least injury to any class—for they cannot he abolished without inflicting sonic in jury—is the practical question which the public is re quired to solve. Having pointed out one grievous error in our Con temporary, we must also state that he is as little jus • tied in applying the epithet " lying" to the remarks of the Ministerial Papers on the question of the Exchange, as to call the Corn-law agitation a tub thrown out to the whale. We have stated facts on this subject, not falsities ; and our statement does not differ in sub stance from that of our Contemporary, except that he leaves out of view the increase which would accrue to the fund for the payment of the Professors of Gresham College by the enlargement and improvement of the site of the Exchange. That expected increase, no doubt, induced the Gresham Committee to acquiesce in the City's application to Parliament ; and if it suffer a little disappointment, it had better, as the Spectator advises, rebuild the Exchange, without any reference to the expenditure of 150,0001. of the public money for a new site. We must further add, that, from any thing we have seen, the epithet " impudent," applied by our Contemporary to Mr. RICE for his demand, is as little justified by circumstances as the epithet " lying," applied to the Ministerial Journals, or as the assertion that the Corn-law agitation is a " scheme of the Whigs." The official account of the suppression of the late rebellious movement in the Canadas, published in our columns of this day, confirms the statements which ap peared in The Sun of Saturday, extracted from the Ame rican journals brought by the Great Western. There is an end of hostilities for the present ; and if the United States authorities do their duty, as recommended by President VAN BUREN in his excellent proclamation, the Loyalists may dismiss all apprehensions of further mischief. It is now notorious that the rebels are in themselves a mere handful of refugees, and that under the name of suppressing an insurrection in the Ca nadas, the British troops have been engaged in re pelling an invasion of our territory by bands of armed ruffians, the subjects of a State in strict alliance with us. This is not to be endured ; and we are happy to see that the United States' Executive re gards the conduct of these brigands in the same light that we do. As to the meetings of the " Sympa thisers," in New York and elsewhere, the following remarks upon them, from the New York Times of the 20th ult., may be taken as a fair sample of the light in which they are viewed by the respectable Press in every part of the Union : We regret exceedingly to see these meetings in our city; they endanger the peace of two great nations. We do not doubt that the general feeling of Great Britain and the United States is mutually friendly and kind, but there are some old unsettled scores between them as nations, and there are very many individual animosities, some of them most rancorous, add to this the great number of people in both nations whose chief delight and thrift is in war and revolution, and the num ber ready to fan the embers will be considerable on both sides. and we must not forget that both Governments are measurably guided and controlled in ►heir policy by the will and the influence of the people. It is the professed genius and duty of our Govern ment to be ruled by public opinion, and we know that the British Ministry watch the indices of public opinion almost as carefully as our own, and further, no race of men on earth are so sensitive of their honour, or so restive under real or supposed injuries as the Anglo-Saxons. Let us, then, be ware of the incipient movements in this dangerous business. We are now obviously entering on a career of national pros perity Every branch of industry, agriculture, commerce, manufactures—is rapidly rising from the late prostration. Let us not blight this goodly prospect in the bud; let us avoid and suppress the remotest provocatiohs to a war; and, in order to do so effectually, we must avoid and suppress the causes of excitement. Let every man suppress the excite ment of his own breast, and make it his duty to assuage it in the breasts of his acquaintances, wherever he finds it. We repeat, these sympathy meetings are very dangerous. The return of the Great Western to B r i s t o l, and the arrival of the Liverpool at New York, have put an end to the misgivings on the subject of steam naviga tion across the Atlantic, to which the first unsuccessful effort of the Liverpool bad naturally given rise. So great were those misgivings at New York, we are in formed, in consequence of the non-arrival of the Li verpool, that several persons who had taken berths in the Great Western declared off, and paid the forfeit money rather than venture in a steam-ship. The at testation, therefore, to her good qualities as a sea boat, and to the care and attention of her commander' which we publish to-day, comes very appropriately to confirm the good opinion which must be the conse quence of her two safe and speedy voyages. Both on her outward and her homeward passage, this vessel experienced gales almost as heavy, amounting, in fact, to hurricanes, as are ever e ncountered, and her com plete success is the crowning triumph of steam naviga tion. The practicability of crossing the ocean i n all seasons by the help of paddles, is now fully established by the care of the enterprizing Company which first undertook to send a steamer to New York, and the skill of the accomplished com mander they have employed. Through his in strumentality, says a C o rrespondent, the Company has conferred a lasting benefit oft the public, and no small honour on the nation. We trace in the gift o f the hatters of Berwick of a very best beaver, of their own manufacture, to GRACE DARLING, the exist ence in the people of a most healthy, generous, moral spirit, and we anticipate from its existence that the public will step to, ward to bestow sonic reward on Captain HosKixr, and commemorate the peacefu, triumph which he has achieved. Peace has her vic tories as well as war, and his stitcess is one of them. We rejoice to find that the conduct of those among the advocates of the " People's Charter," who have been lately recommending an appeal to physical force, in order to attain the accomplishment of their political purposes, is viewed in its true light, and repro bated with just severity, by the better disposed and more enlightened portion of the Char tists. The latter clearly see that the public mind has taken the alarm at the daring avowal of a course of proceeding, the first effect of which, were it successful, would be to cover the land with bloodshed, and the final consequence to estabish the jointlreign of anarchy and, tyranny. They perceive also that, as the natural result of this alarm, all the rest of the com munity will make common cause against the Chartists, who, so far from advancing either their own prin ciples, or the general cause of freedom, will soon find that both have been retarded by their mischievous fully. Wisely, therefore, have the mo derate Chartists acted in publicly branding with their reprobation, all attempts, either by word or deed, to incite the Working Classes to the employment of any other than moral means, in their agitation for the Reform of the Constitution. The Rev. Mr. BREWSTER, of Paisley—the gentle man who was punished by his Co 7 Presbyters for dining with Mr. O'CoNNELL—has taken an active part in this laudable endeavour to bring the Chartists round to a better way of thinking and acting. The Reverend Gen tleman, at a meeting of the Paisley Political Union, about a month ago, moved a series of stringent Reso lutions, deprecating inflammatory language, and other violent proceedings at public meetings, the effect of which has been to elicit from the other Associations a similar expression of their sentiments. At a meet ing held on the Calton-hill at Edinburgh, on Wed nesday last, attended, we believe, by delegates from al most all the Associations, Mr. BREWSTER in the Chair, among other resolutions the following, of which every good man, and every friend of peace, we should have thought, must approve, was passed : " That this meeting most decidedly and unequivocally condemn the conduct of all those who have used such language, as both illegal in itself, and as highly injurious to the people's cause; and that we expressly repudiate and re nounce all connection with such individuals, and with all who approve of their conduct; and will not in any respect recognise them, or co-operate with them, either directly or indirectly, either personally or by deputy, as associates or allies in this movement, till they have retracted the language and disowned the principles they have inculcated or approved of, in reference to physical force ; until they have given ample and satisfactory assurance to the people in Scotland, whose general sentiments we now represent, that they will abstain from such conduct in future ; and we, in our own name and in the name of our constituents, disclaim all connexion with that very small portion of our countrymen who have not yet seen it to be their duty to co-operate with us in the objects of the present meeting, as expressed in this and the foregoing resolu tions." The Glasgow Association, however, we are told has protested against the resolution. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday, with advices from Madrid of the Ist inst., have been received this morning. The little news they bring is satisfactory. Extracts from them will be found in another column. News from China, via New York, has reached us to the 21st of July, says the Chronicle, and will be found interesting. It appears that Captain Elliott, the British superintendent, had declared his intention to resist the edict from Pekin for the expulsion of foreign merchants, and a very angry correspondence has taken place between him and the Viceroy. Captain Elliott, in fact, had struck his flag and returned to Macao, refusing to communicate with the viceroy unless allowed to do so directly, while the latter would only hold intercourse with him through the Hong merchants. In the last document of the Viceroy he expressed himself very angrily, and said, " the vain aspirations of Captain Elliot dis played a vanity somewhat like that of a craw-fish brandishing his claws as if they were battle axes." Sir F. Maitland, the Admiral commanding the East India station, had arrived at Tongkoo Bay on board the Wellesley, 74 guns ; but had been prohibited by an order from the Viceroy, from landing at Macao. It was under stood, however, that he did not intend to pay attention to this prohibition. The Government were still carrying on their measures against the opium trade, as well as the exportation of silver. The Free Press of July 2, con tains a long and very curious report on these subjects, recommending that smokers of opium should be punished with death, and that other severe measures should be adopted to suppress the practice. A number of iEsop's fables have been translated into the Chinese, and had found favour in the eyes of the celestial people. Contrary to all law, usage, and custom, a foreigner had opened a shop in Old China -street, which is beyond the factories, the locality for strangers. This had thrown the Hong merchants into a desperate state of anger, but the offender declared he would run the risk of having his house and goods seized.—[Our Contemporary, however, has forgotten to add the moral to his fable. Admiral Maitland means to land at Macao in spite of the Government ; and a foreigner, probably an Englishman had opened a shop contrary to all the laws, usages, and customs of the Celestial empire. As the English act so to other nations, perhaps some of them may be induced to follow the example. We can point out a capital opening. Corn is some 70 per cent. cheaper in various parts of the neighbouring Continent than here ; and we would recommend some German or Dutchman to esta blish a shop for the sale of bread or corn at the mouth of the Thames, and import it at all times in spite of the Cus toms and the Coast Guard. Whatever may be the laws, usages, and customs of the landlords and their agents the law -makers and the Custom-house officers, we will answer that any Dutchman or German making the experi ment would receive a great deal of popular support. If he were to fix his shop in a manufacturing neighbourhood the bulk of the people would aid him in setting the law and the landlords at defiance. We hear a great deal about preserv ing the supremacy of the law, though how it is to be pre served when it justly excites the indignation of two-thirds of the population, will be difficult to explain.] Little doubt exists in the best informed circles, that an augmentation of the rank and file of the army will take place. The best reason assigned for the non-issue of the order—which, we hear, was contemplated some time ago—is, that the recruiting service has not yet been able to complete the number of men voted by Parliament ; and that, until that number shall have been raised, the order will be held back. Some years ago, when men were has tily required to complete the two additional companies in the infantry regiments, the bounty was, for a limited time, in creased to 41., and the standard was lowered. We have at all times urged the necessity of raising the bounty, which at present does not suffice to equip the recruit with his regi mental necessaries ; the result of which is, that the young soldier is made wretched and discontented on his first entry into the service, by being placed under stoppages, to liquidate the debt he owes to his Captain ; and all this at a time when his drill is severe and irksome, and when some small balance of pay over the amount of mere subsistence is more than ever required to reconcile him to a new mode of life, in which the wholesome restraints of a Spartan discipline must be at first almost disgusting, how ever easy and even agreeable a soldier's life may be after habit has become a second nature. In the best spirit, and with a sincere desire to see the humblest soldier that swells the numbers of the British army as contented and comfort able as this great nation can and ought to make its devoted defenders, we have at this favourable time ventured to re cal to the recollection of the Secretary at War, and of the military authorities, a precedent for an increased bounty, and endeavoured to draw their humane attention to the straitened condition of the young soldier enlisted under the Presen t parsimonious system. —Nav a l and Mil itary Gazette. It is very generally rumoured that two regiments will proceed direct to India, and that the drafts for all the regiments already serving in that country will be embarked at c an early period. The recruiting for all the corps in the East Indies is carrying on with great exertion in every dis trict in the United Kingdom ; but as yet, we regret. to learn, without corresponding success. On inquiry, we are informed, that nearly 1,800 men are still wanting to com plete the regiments in India, and that even this number is very far under the real number required, as a very large proportion of invalids from Calcutta, M a d ras, an d B om b ay have, by this time been embarked for discharge in this country, though they are borne on the strength of their respective regiments. We have little doubt that, with the urgents demands for men in Canada and India, Govern ment will ere long find the absolute necessity of calling out the English Militia to a considerable extent.---Naval and Military Gazette.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEW. CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'f:LOCA. Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house. Extract of tr. letter from Montreal, Nov. 19:— " Sir John Colhurne has strength enough for any thing which can be brought against him in this provincd. Two additiOnal regiments, 11th and 23d, are on their way by water from Halifa* for Quebec. The volunteers hate turned out well, and we can spate a few more regiments from this for the Upper Province. There are about 800 prisoners in Mon treal gaol, nearly all of whom were taken in arms. Their trial by Court-martial will take place on Tuesday next. A. Stewart, Esq., the present Solicitor-General, has been sent for from Quebec, to assist in the trial. There is no doubt that many will be executed. I heard him say yesterday that Sir John Colborne should hang ten or twelve leading rebels in each rebel parish. This, he said, was the only way to put the rebellion down, otherwise we should have a rebellion every winter—that they should be hung in the parishes in which they had stirred up rebellion---nnd their bodies should remain hanging as an ex ample to others. This is the only way to do with the Cana dians ; they have no moral principle. "The prisoners in gaol arc living in affluence, allowed candle light all night, and many of them sit up all night playing cards." Arrivals this m orning—Two French, two Ostend and Dutch mails, also a mail from Jamaica.

Shortly after three o'clock, this afternoon, the Speaker took he chair, and informed the House that it had met agreeably _o his Excellency the Governor's Proclamation, when his Ex cellency was pleased to deliver the following SPEECH. " Gentlemen of the Co;nciT,Vr.Speaker. and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly—The most important in the annals of Colonial history has taken place since 1 last had the plea sure of meeting the Legislature of the Island, and I em happy in being able to declare that the conduct of the labouring population, who were then the objects of your liberal and en lightened policy, entitles them to the highest praise, and amply proves how well they have deserved the boon of freedom. " It was not to be expected, that the total extinction of the apprenticeship law would be followed by an instantaneous re. turn to active labour ; but feeling, as I do, the deepest interest in the successful result of the great measure now in progress, I sincerely congratulate you and the country at large on the improvement which is daily taking place, in the resumption of industrious habits, and I trust there is every prospect of agri cultural prosperity. " Many important subjects consequent upon the altered con dition of society will, I hope, receive your early and serious consideration. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,— I shall lose no time in laying before you various despatches from her Majesty's Government. " I beg to a,snre you of my cordial co-operation in all measures which may tend to improve the laws, to give security to property, to protect the just rights of the peasantry, and en sure peace and happiness to all classes of her Majesty's subjr cts. " Barbadoes Papers to the Ist of November, which do not contain any news of importance, have been received We have received St. John's, N. 8., Papers to the 9th of November (unimportant). We have received Trinidad Papers to the 31st of October. On a perusal of our Barbadoes file we find little of interest to our readers. The peasantry seem to work better and more continually. ST.

A Jamaica Paper states that the irregular manner in which labour is performed, is generally complained of; on some estates, in which the people turn out and work well fur a Reek or two, scarcely a soul is to be seen at work the next week or two. . . Another Jamaica Paper, of the 19th ult., states that the intelligence per post is extremely contradictory ; at the north side, agreeably to Standard and Cornwall Chronicle, things are going on very badly indeed, but our letters give an en tirely different version. We have learned, with a considerable degree of pain, that scarcely a hoe has this week b-en raised through the whole parish of Westmoreland. The labourers everywhere reject the terms offered by their masters. Our accounts from Hanover are not much better, some estates in particular. A correspondent actually informs us, that not only is passive resistance strongly maintained and in culcated by ene and all of the labourers, but threats have been whispered by some of them that they would murder Mr. Burk in his bed.

TIMER O'CLOCK MURDER AND ARSON AT NEWCASTLE.—The Gateshead Observer states that, down to five o'clock on Sa turday afternoon, nothing further had transpired to fix, with certainty, the guilt of this murder upon anyindividual. During the day, the room in which the deed was committed, and the adjoining apartment, in which the torch was applied, and the wood-work of which is nearly all destroyed, have had nu merous visitors. The first blow had been struck, appa rently, at the door of the former room, as the victim was attempting to escape from his assailant. The blood, which followed the blow, has spurted over the door ; and there is the mark of a pool of blood on the floor, as if Mr. Millie had fallen down. Then, on the wainscot between the door and the fireplace, there is a further sprinkling of blood, the evident cansequences of a further blow ; and there are also on the wood-work at this place, the marks of fingers which had paddled among the blood. At the fireplace, where the body was found, lying on a hearthrug, the floor is soaked in the blood which had flowed from the head ; and from the splashed condition of the grate, fender, and chimney-piece, it is clear that numerous savage blows must here have been inflicted on the mur dered man. His pockets were filled with pieces of coal, wrapped up in paper packets, in order, it is supposed, that when the fire reached him, he might consume the more readily ; but the mystery is, why, if it were wished to de stroy the body, it was not placed in the room where the fire was raging. For the information of distant readers, who visited Newcastle during the meeting of the British Association, we m ay s tate, that the two rooms in question were then used as the ‘` Inquiry Rooms," and that it is the larger in which the deed was perpetrated, and the smaller which was set on fire. The number of persons confirmed by the Bishop of Winchester in the county of Hants, during his late pro gress, was 9,324 being a large increase upon the late con firmation. The lighthouse and part of the pier at Ardglass, in the Bay of Dundrum, which had been nearly completed at an expense of 26,0001., were destroyed by the violence of the late storms.

THE MANCHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY. This case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chroicellor, dissolving an in junction granted ex -parte by his Honour, restraining the de fendants from using certain lands for the purposes of their railwa ) . The case was only heard a few days since before the Vice-Chancellor, and the facts were then so fully brought be fore the public, as to make a repetition of them unnecessary. The arguments appear likely to occupy several days. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•) PICKFORD V. SKEWS. Mr.Jacon, with whom - was Mr. BETHEL, moved in this case for the discharge of an attachment issued against the defendant for want of appearance, on the ground that the subpeena had not been regularly served. The bill was filed by the plaintiff as the patentee of the Miners Patent Safety Fuse, g . t purpose of blasting rocks and mines, for an injunction the defendant to restrain him from infringing the plalnt lfr : patent.. That injunction was granted, but the defendant be be having appeared on the bill, th - x attachment now sought discharged was issued against him. oli- Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, and Mr. ROUPEL opposed the aP. cation. f or am e Hit HONOUR granted the motion. Mr. JACOB then proceeded to move to dissolve the injunc tion, and was addressing the Court when our Reporter left. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY•) SAWARD V. M'DONNELL. This case was part heard on Saturday. of The suit was instituted to obtain payment of a legacy 1,000 guineas. The first question raised was, what part port w " of the property of the testator was charged with the legacY ' and, secondly, whether the legacy was payable immediately, 19 ought to be postponed until the death of the husband of tool trix, Col. Pearce. Mr. KINDERSLEY and Mr. CAMPBELL were this morning heard on behalf of the defendants. ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. The above case was ordered to stand over till to-morr olv,i f.
